2 John 1:7-11

7 For 1many deceivers have 2gone out into the world, those who 3do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is 4the deceiver and the 5antichrist.
8 6Watch yourselves, 7that you do not lose what we have accomplished, but that you may receive a full reward.
9 [a]Anyone who [b]goes too far and 8does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son.
10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, 9do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting;
11 for the one who gives him a greeting 10participates in his evil deeds.
